A recent Virtual Veterans Experience Action Center (VEAC) reached 383 Veterans in Kentucky. VEACs began four years ago as a way to proactively assist Veterans, family members, caregivers and survivors as a one-stop resource.
VEAC brings together V-VEACs, Peer-to-Peer support, Veterans Experience Live (VetXL), VetResources, and Community Signals (CSignals) in a holistic effort to increase access to needed services. The newest addition to this list of services provided under the VEAC pilot program is Peer-to-Peer support.
Peer-to-Peer organizations provide emotional support, share knowledge, teach skills, provide practical assistance, and connect Veterans with resources, opportunities and communities of support that positively impact the lives of Veterans, families, caregivers and survivors.
